Haha thanks, but don't forget neodos, he did all the plugins and found dozens of bugs

Also people, expect a update either tonight or sometime tomaro, hopefully with tag renaming, a Collision viewer, and some new settings for Unicode.

EDIT: Fixed, Enjoy!

STICK IN MY BUM! I have been reading about this all morning and I just glance at your Signature and see a link and I am like :O NO WAI! Great release! I just installed H2V for this. I love you Grimdoomer. WAIT. And DeToX and Neodos. All 3 of you just made my day.

Can you post the error and I'll fix it in the next update.

So how would one release a modification for a campaign map ? Do Serenitys exist for H2V or something similar ? Sorry for the dumb question. I haven't played H2V much..

Edit:
I have a suggestion.

I think that should move up when the one above it gets small. Not necessary, but would look nice.

Edit2:
I found an error this time. It was on the Magazine editing of the Battle Rifle using the Meta Editor.

Hope I am helping.

Very impressive!

I enjoyed watching you program this. Hopefully you can get the tag builder to work.

looking good grim, I may try this out tomorrow...

Nice thanks man!
The fix for the bitmask is posted in the Troubleshooting Section above. As for the collapsable panel, I only used it for its appearance, but I will make then move up/down as that seems to be a popular request

I found a typing mistake. On the meta editor, when you select a vehicle, one of the flags says "Impact Melle Attaches to Unit"

Anyway, this program is awesome and I'm happy that it's finally out. Nice job on it.

Also, how do you get out of the meta editor and back into the original window?

That is another fix such as what he posted. Open vehi.xml with Notepad. Press CTRL+F, type Melle in the field and press enter. Once found, fix spelling error and save. All simple fixes with the plugins.

Hopefully we can get these plugins error free.

Oh and right click within the Meta Editor and select Reference Editor->Tag References.

This program is really easy to use once you get it down.

I suggest this gets FRONT PAGED!

Yeah I just figured that out

.

A possible feature that I think you should add would be the ability to open a recent map, so that you don't have to browse for the map each time.

That would be handy. Oh and another suggestion for the application. Have the tag swapper always showing with the tags, built into the window. But if you keep it floating, make it stay on top and not be able to be opened multiple times. I had 5 of the windows floating behind the main

Maybe like this:

Edit: Found another error! I figured you only needed that much of the message, but in case, here is the pastebin. http://pastebin.com/dd78a228

Code: Select all

************** Exception Text **************
System.IndexOutOfRangeException: Index was outside the bounds of the array.

FYI, I had open 03a_oldmombasa and had open the object/vehicle/pelican_rocket_pod/vehicle/pelican_rocket_pod under weap and went into the Meta Editor to produce this result.

It's only a "Error checking for update!" right at the start of the program :/
I run it as Admin (always do that with apps and games)

Great App once again! I had lost all hope for H2V a long time ago and only by habit did I check through these forums and noticed this...

Post by **grimdoomer** » Fri Aug 01, 2008 10:27 am

I'll get right on the bitmask error. As for the swapper idea, I don't want it cluttering the form but I will add a cacle button. Expect a working tag builder soon, a long with lots of smaller features

Ok, I know whats the probelm with the Bitmasks, I know I said to use a spacer option. DO NOT set its value to -1, set it to 0 and do not check/uncheck it. It shouldn't apear any way. That should fix it.

New features im adding now:

- Unicode editing
- Recent Maps List
- Cancle Button on Ident Swapper
- Tag Renaming
- Tag Duplication
- Collision Viewer

Stay tuned for updates, Gravemind will notify you. If the Auto Update doesn't work for you then keep checking this forum.
